ADVANCED STANDING.
Under the elective system of the University of Virginia, a student who
has completed courses of college or university grade in other institutions of
learning on mathematical or scientific subjects may be excused from attendance
upon these courses by the Dean, with the advice and consent of
the professors in charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced
work.
In order to secure College Credit upon such courses toward a degree in
Engineering from this University, the applicant must show—
1. That the courses offered are coextensive with the corresponding
courses as given in the University of Virginia.
2. That his grades on them were not below the seventy-five per cent.
pass-mark of this University.
Such credits may be granted by the faculty upon the recommendation
of the Dean and the professors in charge; but are automatically revoked by
the failure of the student to pass in the more advanced courses in the related
topics.
The same rules apply to Credits on Summer School Courses; except
that for courses in the Summer School of this University the examination
questions must be prepared by the professor in charge of the regular
course, and the answers must be read and graded by him.
Credits on Practice-Courses in Drawing, Shop-work, or Field-work
may be granted to applicants who have gained in professional practice the
training which these courses represent. Such applicants must file with the
Dean proper certificates from the official under whom the work was done
and must in addition pass a practical test on the subjects for which credit
is desired. College credit is not granted for high-school work.
